You're very welcome with the e34 ( we nearly always have a 5 series anyhow) - I'm bringing my e24 so you won't have the only barge there

As Richard says, more the merrier. Very rare to get a meet without a 5-series... Talking of which, where's Interloper these days?

Rob, take the M27 towards Bournemouth, when it becomes A31, keep following. You'll pass a garage on your left, then shortly after, there's the Picket Post services. Take the slip road, then turn left, before the garage. This will put you onto a road into the New Forest. The carpark is about 200yrds on the right hand side... DON'T turn right before the carpark...

Gordon do you have a map location for this place, as i need to meet Adit to pick something up,.

Post Thu Dec 06, 2007 7:22 pm

It's Picket Post Services, Near Ringwood, Hampshire, BH24 3HN
Is this good enough guys, if not, I'll try and sort some excuse of a map...

Post Thu Dec 06, 2007 7:25 pm

so its in the services then?

Post Thu Dec 06, 2007 8:14 pm

Sort of, yes. Pull off on the slip road for the services, and there's a road on the left. Turn down this and we'll be in a carpark about 200yrds down on the right.

Post Thu Dec 06, 2007 9:31 pm

Depends from which part of Soton! From junction 3 / M27 no longer than 15 minutes.

Post Sat Dec 08, 2007 9:35 pm

I want to come to this but havent bought an E30 yet

Maybe next time.

Post Sat Dec 08, 2007 9:39 pm

Wouldn't worry I'm gonna be there in a fugly pugly.

Post Sat Dec 08, 2007 9:43 pm

Hey Gord are you taking flippers and snorkels ?

Post Sat Dec 08, 2007 10:43 pm

If its relatively dry I might pop out, but looking at it I think a wet suit might be in order

Post Sat Dec 08, 2007 10:47 pm

Would be good to see you there Jazzman! It's not raining at the moment.......

Don't worry about not having the E30 yet, just turn up in whatever.

Could be a good idea. Looks like being a rather wet meet. Never mind though. Bet I've been to worse at Portsdown.

Brollies and waterproofs the order of the day I reckon. Not a problem, we'll just move off to the pub sooner.

So can everyone be prompt please? Especially if it's raining around 12pm. The sooner everyone arrives, the sooner we can move on to somewhere warm and dry.

Cheers

If it were not so late I'd go out for a drive now, but my neighbours would probably hate me if I wake them up :lol:

If it is raining I'll not be coming, I've not had time to install the windscreen yet, rain at 60mph hurts!

Post Sun Dec 09, 2007 8:46 am

1. Gortour (wishing the rain would stop)
2. hongkongfuey ( not missing this one)

Doesn't look good does it. It's dryish here but I think I'll pass after view the weather forecasts! Lets hope 2008 is less damp!

Post Sun Dec 09, 2007 10:30 am

It's lovely out there at the moment, even the sun has come out! There is even some blue sky to the west...

Post Sun Dec 09, 2007 10:41 am
